Dude A Day: Woke Up Like This

Gaze into Jesse's otherworldly eyes and understand the true wonder of a woke-ass man. (♡∀♡)

Consider this your annual reminder (although, shame on you if you needed one) that Jesse Williams is PERFECT. The man has been out here being fine, smart, talented and woke AT THE SAME DAMN TIME! HOW SWAY?! And I’m not talking about your average, run-of-the-mill “I can be a feminist, too" type of woke. No, no. On any given day you can find Jesse leading important intellectual discussions about racism in America, police brutality, cultural appropriation, and more on social media.

ALL WHILE STILL LOOKING AT YOU WITH THOSE BEAUTIFUL, PERFECT PALE BLUE EYES!

The man has even acknowledged that his seat at the table to talk about these issues was easier to attain simply because he falls into European beauty standards. So, he was literally woke about how gorgeous he is. Meanwhile, your fav is busy having a Twitter rant about something problematic.

And don’t even get me started about how fine and shirtless Jesse is every Thursday on Grey’s Anatomy. He’s honestly the only reason I tune in at this point, just so I can see that beautiful face on my big-screen TV and yell, “First of all how dare you?! Second, never stop!”

There are levels to this brains and beauty shit, y'all, and Jesse is at the top of the goddamn totem poll. Never forget that.
